AB follows Ashwell suit

AFP, Leeds
AB de Villiers continued to defy England's attack with an unbeaten century as South Africa all but batted Michael Vaughan's men out of the second Test here at Headingley on Sunday.
South Africa, at tea on the third day, were 480 for seven in reply to England's first innings 203 - a lead of277
De Villiers was 158 not out and Paul Harris 11 not out after vicecaptain Ashwell Prince had made a Test-best 149, his second hundred in as many matches.
South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher, dropped twice on eight, helped de Villiers add 67 for the
sixth wicket.
But he rarely looked comfortable and was out for 34 when, attempting a rare aggressive shot, he played on after trying to pull James Anderson.
Soon, 422 for six became 427 for seven when Monty Panesar took his first wicket for 82 overs when be bowled Morne Morkel through a big gap between bat and pad for nought.
Anderson's first delivery with the new ball, a long hop, was confidently put away by de Villiers for his 150.
Before lunch, England had finally seen the back of Prince with controversial debutant Darren Pattinson, born in Grimsby but
raised in Australia, who took the only wicket to fall on Saturday, removing the stubborn lefthander.
In his second over of the day, the 29-year-old seamer -- appearing in
just his 12th first-class match - was bowling from around the wicket when Prince edged a full length delivery to wicket-keeper Tim Ambrose.

Prince, who'd made 101 in the drawn first Test at Lord's, had batted for nearly seven hours, facing 284 balls with two sixes and 17 fours.
His stand of 212 in 75 overs with de Villiers, notable for the pair's excellent running between the wickets, was a new South Africa record for the fifth-wicket against England, surpassing the 192 shared by Gary Kirsten and Boucher at Durban in 1999.
De Villiers made Pattinson pay for dropping short on a placid pitch when he cut him through the offside for four in front of square to go to 99.
A fired-up Andrew Flintoff --who at tea had bowled 40 overs -twice beat de Villiers outside off-stump.
De Villiers, who'd angered England on Friday by claiming to have caught Andrew Strauss when the ball had in fact bounced, spent 13 balls on 99, his single off Flintoff saw de Villiers complete his sixth Test hundred off 264 balls with 11 fours.
